    H's JDM Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 6/VI - Scotia White

    Hi all, Not been on here for a while as I've been really busy with work etc. Since I sold the EP3 last year, I got myself a fresh imported Evo 6 in Scotia White in November. 1 owner from Japan with 63k. There's not much that needs doing to it apart from repainting the calipers as they've seen...

    EP3 Spoon n1 with bung loud?

    I've been running a un-silenced B-pipe and spoon back box for a year and loved it! If i was going on a long journey, i'd put the bung in, which was fine for me. With the bung in, you hear more of the engine VTEC cross over. I am selling the Spoon backbox with bung and b pipe if interested.

    HID kit recomendations for an EP3

    Annoying thing is that they take time to adjust when you switch them on if that makes sense, it doesn't have that instant start up. Sometimes when i switch mine on, only one of them comes on so i have to flick the beam off and then back on. Have you got the night breakers?

    It gives a bassy tone rather than raspy like a spoon n1. No drone on the motorway but sounds nice and loud on Vtec. However if your car is lowered, the mid pipe can scrape on the speed bumps.

    Why don't you get a second hand OEM type r exhaust and fit that? Or you can get a Fujitsubo Legalis R which is the closest to the OEM look with the twin pipe. Check on youtube as to what they sound like for a rough idea.
